In @ Queens.!!

Made it to Queens MBA for Science and Technology.
It has been rated as #1 in International MBA (Non US) and feels good to know that I made it .
But rankings don't matter much to me. I believe in best fit.

The real confusion begins in the next few days.
The waitlist at ISB haunts me. I can't end up paying the acceptance money for all the schools and keep hoping that ISB will pick me towards March end.

Duh! I hate the day when they told me that I have been Waitlisted.Itz a sick feeling that raises questions about one's abilities and makes him think every moment -What went wrong.?

Itz back to decision making process now -MISM vs MBA.
USA vs Canada.

What is ur take guyz..? Please comment.
Next few days will be spent speaking to Queen's students!!

I have to also arrange for the official transcript and degree statement from my college in Bangalore which is refusing to give the transcipts without the originals! Damn ppl!

Ah! Here you go...Congrats. I wasn't surprised to see the admit after reading your interview experience.

Now, the questions. MIS vs MBA, Queen's Vs Carnegie, it's about what you want. If you think MBA will help you reach your long term goals, take up MBA. Queen's is a top ranked universit outside US. But we can't go by rankings. My only concern about queen's is the placement. We will chat in the weekend..

Congrats! Well, I have heard from reliable sources that Queen's is better that CMU MISM in many aspects. But, I guess other factors also come into picture. Like the currency u pour in. Have u got an aid for Queens? I guess it costs around 60000 can Dollars. So be prepared to pour in money or pick up a loan. But since u got scholarship at CMU MISM, I guess it would be a safer bet. What say MIB?

Cheers, Guru

Congrats!

CMU will open the doors for you in the US and Canada. I'm not sure Queens is that well known in the US, even if it's highly ranked overseas.

Best of luck!

Congrats.
A difficult decision. Weigh the odds carefully. Stop waiting for ISB and move on. Sometimes the most difficult things to let go carry the least value for you. :-)
Cheers!
